I’m building a large-capacity (150 litre) agricultural drone that must stay genuinely affordable, so every design decision needs to revolve around off-the-shelf components—especially PCBs already on the market. The airframe, power system and avionics have to work together to carry and dispense liquid or granular product while remaining easy for a grower to assemble and service in the field. Core functions I need engineered into the platform are autonomous flight over flat cropland, precise real-time data collection for mapping and application logs, a reliable spraying mechanism, and a “siembra” module for spot seeding. The machine will service cereals, vegetables and fruit plots, so flexibility in nozzle options and application rates is essential. I’m looking for complete development: structural design, component selection, flight-control integration (Pixhawk, ArduPilot or comparable COTS stack), payload plumbing, and the software tweaks that tie everything together. Highlight how you’ll keep the BOM low by using commercially available PCBs, motors, pumps and sensors rather than custom boards. Deliverables • CAD files and stress calculations for a 150 L payload frame • Detailed BOM with links to readily purchasable PCBs and hardware • Wiring diagrams and firmware configuration files • Ground-control documentation showing autonomous mission setup, data capture and spray/seed calibration • Short test video or log proving stable lift, waypoint flight and payload actuation Acceptance criteria – All listed parts must be available from mainstream suppliers (no boutique one-offs) – Hover and cruise tests demonstrate safe operation at full 150 L load – Spraying and siembra subsystems achieve uniform coverage within ±5 % of target rate – Log files export in common formats (CSV, GeoJSON) for agronomic analysis If this challenge fits your skill set, outline your approach, key component choices and any past work with heavy-lift or agri UAVs. Let’s get this drone from concept to reliable field work while keeping costs firmly in check.

Hi there, I would be happy to assist with the design of a low-cost 150 L agricultural drone for spraying applications. With expertise in mechanical design, CAD modeling, and engineering analysis, I can help develop a robust and cost-efficient UAV platform suitable for agricultural operations. Approach: • Define system requirements including payload capacity, tank volume (150 L), flight time, and spraying coverage. • Conceptual design of drone configuration (likely octacopter or heavy-lift multirotor for stability and high payload). • Structural design of frame, landing gear, tank mounting, and spraying mechanism. • Selection and sizing of propulsion system (motors, ESCs, propellers) based on thrust-to-weight calculations. • Integration of tank, pump, spray nozzles, and piping system. • CAD modeling of full assembly and component layout. • Basic performance calculations for lift, power consumption, and flight endurance. • Preparation of manufacturing-ready design documentation. Deliverables: • Complete 3D CAD model of the drone assembly • Component selection and bill of materials • Structural layout and frame design • Spraying system integration design • Technical drawings for manufacturing • Basic performance and design calculation report Timeline: To be determined after discussing project scope. Budget: Open to negotiation based on complexity. Looking forward to collaborating on this project. Let’s connect to discuss further. Best regards, Arati M.

Hello! I am highly interested in the challenge of designing a 150L heavy-lift agricultural drone that prioritizes affordability—a rare balance where many projects fail by over-specifying expensive aerospace components. Having engineered heavy-lift UAV frames, I know the secret to low-cost scaling lies in optimizing the thrust-to-weight ratio through clever airframe geometry and open-source stacks rather than proprietary, high-margin hardware. My experience ensures we can achieve the necessary lift capacity while maintaining a Bill of Materials (BOM) that makes commercial sense for wide-scale agricultural deployment. To tackle this, I will develop a modular hybrid airframe using a combination of reinforced aluminum alloys and localized carbon fiber to provide structural rigidity for the 150kg+ payload at a fraction of the cost of a full composite build. I will specify high-torque, large-diameter brushless motors (15-20kW class) paired with high-voltage industrial ESCs to maximize efficiency and reliability. The system will run on the ArduPilot ecosystem via a Cube Orange flight controller, allowing for advanced terrain following and mission planning without recurring licensing fees. Additionally, I’ll design a simplified, high-flow pumping system utilizing PWM-controlled logic for precise application rates without the need for expensive, specialized flow sensors. Given the payload, are you considering a coaxial X8 configuration for better stability, or a flat octocopter for easier maintenance? Also, do you have a specific target for the maximum takeoff weight to comply with local regulations? I’d love to discuss your vision for the propulsion power source and can hop on a call whenever you’re ready to align on the technical roadmap.

✅✅✅ Agricultural UAV Systems & Heavy-Lift Drone Design Engineer ✅✅✅ Hi there, I have experience designing heavy-lift UAV platforms and integrating COTS flight-control ecosystems such as Pixhawk with ArduPilot for autonomous agricultural operations. My work includes payload systems, pump-based spraying modules, telemetry logging, and structural UAV frames optimized for high payload efficiency and field serviceability. My approach is to design a lightweight but strong modular frame for the 150 L payload using proven heavy-lift configurations, integrate Pixhawk/ArduPilot avionics with RTK GNSS for precise waypoint missions, and select off-the-shelf motors, ESCs, pumps, and PCBs to keep the BOM cost-effective and easy to source. The spray and seeding systems will be calibrated for ±5% application accuracy. A few questions: Do you prefer octocopter or X8 configuration for redundancy? What target flight time is expected at full load? Will RTK positioning be required for precision agriculture mapping? I am ready to start immediately. Best regards

Hey there! I saw your post for the 150L heavy-lift drone and I’m definitely interested. As a licensed structural engineer and architect, I specialize in designing rugged, high-capacity frames that actually hold up under load. I’m a big believer in using COTS parts like Pixhawk/ArduPilot to keep maintenance simple for the end-user. I can handle the CAD work, stress analysis for that 150kg payload, and the plumbing for the "siembra" and spray modules. I’ll focus on a BOM using off-the-shelf PCBs and hobby-standard motors so you aren't stuck with proprietary tech. I've worked on autonomous indoor robotics and large-scale permit-ready engineering before, so I’m comfortable with the technical documentation and flight logs you need. Let’s chat about getting this project off the ground!
